The MultiBit Bitcoin wallet information file is a specific data format associated with the discontinued MultiBit cryptocurrency client software. It functions as a metadata container, storing configuration settings and property details required to accompany the primary wallet database for proper operation. As the MultiBit project was officially deprecated in 2017, this legacy format is now primarily utilized for archival purposes or during the migration of keys to modern Bitcoin wallet solutions.
